Capacity and diversity gain for MIMO distributed system

Wireless channels are affected by short-term fading and long-term fading (shadowing). This shadowing must be into account overall when mobility is present in the wireless scenario. Using a compound fading model, it is studied capacity and diversity gain for Rayleigh fading with shadowing. This work provides wide quantitative results for rayleigh fading with shadowing and multiple input and multiple-output (MIMO) distributed system that is not previously reported. Moreover, it is compared the performance with and without shadowing.
